It waa only a few years ago that Mra,
Wllaon, then' Anna K.rohl, pretty, heart
whole and fancy-free met Mr. Luce, a auc
ceaeful business man and a bachelor, many
aeare har senior. Ijater he met Wllaon
d they, fell in love. Pha told L.uce tna
truth.
You may have your freedom," ha aald
when ha had solved hi own problem.
So divorr.. proceedhi ga ware carried
through and Mr. Lwt made bla wlf a fine
allowance, In1 due time aha 'became Mra.
Wllaon, but' there wag ona fly in the
amber of tha young wlfe'a love her former

Waa ha paaslpg. tha autumn of hla days?
Waa he cared Jort Mra., Wllaon told her

beaaea and bf har fears for hla comfort.
"Let ua ask Mr. Vic out here to .live
a"
with us," asked tha bride, "so that 1 nay

Tha naw husband consented. A letter was
written and tha answer came back
promptly. Tea, Mr. Luca would ba glad
to make hla home for the rest of hla li(e
with the Wilsons. A few daya later and
ha waa back under the same roof with his
wife of other daya.
Everything went famously until auddenly
the young couple found out that their
marriage waa not legal they had been mar
lied before tha six montha had alaaped
after tha final decree. So to make their
statue perfectly within the law, they were
married again In January at Newton, Kan.,

Luce. '
"Why," said he, "I want them to atay

feel really happy without them. I know
perfectly well that I made a mistake in
persuading her to marry me; there waa
far too much disparity in our agea. Now I
am trying to make amends the beet way I
know how."
Aa ha spoke, young Mra. Wllaon waa smil

"Mr. Luce," she said, with a smile of
affection, "la tha vary best friend wa have

am going to treat myself- to a 'visit in old

Story of an Elephant
In every large clrcua where the animals
and tralnera and performers travel and
work together many strange friendship
are met with. Tha atory about to be told
Is about tha friendship of a huge elephant
and a little girl. The little girl who was
the elephant's friend waa the daughter of
tha trainer. Bhe waa only 4 yeara old
and all the animals knew and loved her,
but Betsy, the elephant, especially favored
her. Sha would pick her up with her trunk
and swing her high In tha air, which was
great fun, Mlml thought. ,
Of course everyone krlowa that while
there are good tempered and gentle ele
phants there are also vary wicked ones.
In the herd there was ona very big fellow,
who gave the trainer considerable trouble.
One day when ha was mora bad tempered
than usual he was given no hay for sup
per. Hla punishment made him sulky, and
presently when the trainer walked by with
Mlml trotting along behind him a wicked
gleam ahone from hla little ayea. He con
cluded to be revenged by killing the dear
J
little girl whom everyone loved.
But faithful Betsy waa watching him.
Juat aa he leaned forward and raised hla
powerful trunk to strike Mlml, Betay
quickly picked her up and plaoed her be
yond hia reach.
AU tha clrcua people came and praised
Betay and it waa decided to Sell tba bad
elephant, so that he might never , again try
to Injure Mlml.
Cornered,
"And you any," questions tha possible
customer, "that this globe is an exact rep
resentation of the earth?"
"Oh, yea, indeed, air," asserts tha sales
man. "Nonsense! Tell me how they could get
far enough away from it to make the model
and how they could stay up in tba air
long enough to sketch both sides?" Chi
cago Post.
At Tltuaville, Pa., in IKS. tha first U
